Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.

Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.

Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

@QasimRashid
GOOD! 🌊 🇺🇲 🌊
@QasimRashid - I believe this would make Mexico number 143 of the 193 member countries of the United Nations that recognize Palestine, is that correct?
@QasimRashid I wish my shithouse Prime Minister were brave and righteous like her.
Stale, Male and Pale, that's Starmer....

@Lazarou @QasimRashid

Then ask the King.

A simple petition and its PR necessities unleashed could work ?

#AskTheKing #BigBen

@QasimRashid - Is this the beginning or just a blip?
@larrysharpe @QasimRashid The latest news I read didn't mention her recognizing it as a state, only her supporting it as a state. But her actions are pointing to that direction.

@budgegeria @larrysharpe @QasimRashid

So the latest news you read wrote she supported Palestinian state by receiving the ambassador of Palestine, which prerequisite is the recognition of Palestine as a state.
But the latest news you read dissociated state recognition and an ambassador official visit by presenting it as two different things against any logic ?

@franebleu @larrysharpe @QasimRashid It's weird, I know. Don't know why news don't want to write it out.

@QasimRashid

Netanyahu's recklessness can't be excused. He is a war criminal, like Hamas leaders.

@QasimRashid other embarassing thing: Mexico is 78 percent Christian and 8 percent (compared to 6 percent in the US, somehow) religious nationalist (https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/01/28/comparing-levels-of-religious-nationalism-around-the-world/), while the US is 63 percent Christian (https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/02/26/decline-of-christianity-in-the-us-has-slowed-may-have-leveled-off/).

But guess who elected a non-Christian leader first?

And a female leader?

Comparing Levels of Religious Nationalism Around the World

We asked people in three dozen countries how they see religion's role in society, government and national identity.

@QasimRashid

That's what happens when a country invests in educating the young.

It gets well informed policy bolstered by genuine expertise, along with leaders who can differentiate between BS and reality.

No wonder #KochNetwork expends so much effort at creating an illiterate underclass.

They vote for xenophobic bigots like Trump.

It's not just the Koch brothers: a state by state look at the forces driving school privatization.

Who dares to be next? It should be a fast-flowing river of nations doing the same.
@QasimRashid Considering walking to Mexico (from Kansas.) Whatever is left of me after that would be content to finish my days under a leader like this.
@QasimRashid Some hope in the world.
@QasimRashid
It has the side benefit of getting up Trump's nose.

@QasimRashid

This is what true leadership looks like. Sheinbaum's historic move has now brought Mexico in line with most other countries including an overwhelming majority of the Global South which recognize Palestinian sovereignity

@QasimRashid many people said it was impossible as Claudia is a jew. I'm glad she did

@QasimRashid

The #AxisOfGenocide includes all the zionist supporting countries.

Canada has a chance to join Mexico as a supporter of human rights, since we don't need to so earnestly parrot American genocidal legitimacy.

We have so much more in common with Mexico now, more than maybe ever before!

PM Carney has a chance to change course profoundly!

@franebleu @QasimRashid is this an ai image?
@Maxfieldripken @QasimRashid
Based on 2 AI images, yes.
I couldn't find proper material to do it as I would, sorry for that. 
@franebleu @QasimRashid do you have to disclose ai content?

@Maxfieldripken @QasimRashid
I just put it in the Alt text description, is that what you meant ?

Maybe in some years in some simulation, it will be a real game, like the first Opus of this famous educational suite ?

@franebleu @QasimRashid

Yeah I'm new
I thought there was a rule to pre-emptively warn/tag ai content, but I'm not sure all servers have that rule

@Maxfieldripken @QasimRashid
I don't really know the rules... I kind of adapt thanks to collective dynamics and moderation decisions by trial and error, put warnings sometimes... And also for the case of such a meme, the absence of this information tends to have additional impacts, it's a part of it in some way. So giving the info when someone just asked is a way to respect reality when asked because needed, and perhaps our interaction created a convenient optimum for this stuff ?
@QasimRashid Is this genuine? I can't find anything to corroborate it in any newspaper of record.
@QasimRashid
🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🧡

A woman...perhaps they can make a difference? Think of Arden...
Sheinbaum avala a la embajadora del Estado de Palestina en México, Nadya Rasheed

La Embajada de Palestina ha agradecido a México por su postura sobre la guerra de Israel en Gaza.

El Financiero
@QasimRashid Mexico has recognized the State of Palestine since 2012, when Mexico voted in favor of the State of Palestine being recognized as an observer state at the United Nations. Consequently, in February 2013, for the first time, a Palestinian ambassador officially presented his credentials to the President of Mexico.
@QasimRashid @donelias Alt text: photo of the two leaders holding up a piece of paper between them.

"¡Guau! La presidenta de México, Claudia Sheinbaum, reconoce oficialmente a Palestina como Estado. Aquí da la bienvenida a la embajadora palestina, Nadya Rasheed.

Sheinbaum es judía, apoya la autodeterminación palestina y condena sin complejos los ataques de Netanyahu a Gaza.

Un liderazgo histórico e inspirador. ❤️✊🏽"

@QasimRashid

@QasimRashid congrats Claudia Sheinblum! She is more of a mensch then tRump will ever be.
